Las Tablas Town Center

Las Tablas, Republic of Panama

Client: Edifica Panama City

This 26,000 sqm town center located at the eastern edge of the village of La Tablas is Panama's first exurban commercial development based on New Urbanist principles. The pedestrian-friendly main street is anchored by a grocery store at one end and a square at the other. This square is defined by a mixed-use building connected to a corner plaza activated by a museum and church. Two- and three-story structures with rich frontages line the main street which feature street-level retail below hotel, commerical and residential uses, creating a vibrant public environment. The southern edge of the site faces a principal arterial road that has been organized along a new frontage road lined with mixed-use courts consisting of residential above ground-level commercial.
